The security server forwards an encryption message comprising a plurality of unique identifiers to the physical access control device via the mobile device. The physical access control device is configured to authenticate the plurality of unique identifiers in the encryption message and operate an access control mechanism.

Abstract: In general, a computing device is described that receives an indication of a particular communication from a particular sender. The computing device determines a relationship score based at least in part on a relationship context between the particular sender and a user of the computing device. The relationship score indicates a degree of strength of a relationship between the particular sender and the user of the computing device. While outputting an alert indicative of the communication, the computing device adjusts one or more characteristics of the alert based at least in part on the relationship score.

The safety holster is formed by a single piece material and has an opening secured by a fastening device.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a locking system for a door with a mortise pocket. The locking system has a mortise case within the mortise pocket. The mortise case defines an alignment hole. The locking system also has a gear box with a worm gear that defines a notched passage that receives a lock knob shaft. A worm within the gear box is coupled to a motor that rotates the worm. The worm engages the worm gear such that the worm gear rotates when the worm rotates. A control board in the gear box is adapted to receive electronic signals and transmit them to the motor to cause the motor to rotate the worm. The gear box also has a worm gear hub that defines a keyed passage and a hub tab. The worm gear hub fits within the notched passage and the keyed passage receives the lock knob shaft. The worm gear also has two notches that the hub tab contacts individually when the gear hub rotates within the notched passage.

Abstract: A computing device is described that can receive contextual information related to a user associated with the computing device. The contextual information may relate to at least one of a physiological condition of the user at a current time or a type of activity associated with the user at the current time. The computing device can select, based at least in part on the contextual information, a type of alert to output as an indication of notification data. The type of alert may include at least one of an electric stimulus type alert, a shape-memory alloy type alert, and a vibration type alert. Responsive to selecting the type of alert, the computing device can output an alert based on the notification data, the alert being of the selected type of alert.

Abstract: In some examples, a technique may include outputting information associated with a notification. The notification may be associated with a notification attribute. The technique may further include determining, by a computing device, that a user has perceived the information associated with the notification; and receiving, by the computing device, an indication of at least one physiological parameter representative of a reaction of the user to the information associated with the notification. In some examples, the technique also includes, responsive to receiving the indication of the at least one physiological parameter representative of the reaction of the user to the information associated with the notification, controlling, by the computing device, at least one notification configuration setting related to outputting information associated with other notifications associated with the notification attribute.

Abstract: The subject matter of this disclosure can be implemented in, among other things, a method performed by a computing device. In these examples, the method includes determining an identity of an originator of an incoming communication using an originating address of the incoming communication, and applying a first set of rules to the identity of the originator of the incoming communication to determine an importance of the incoming communication. The first set of rules includes rules generated based at least on information about the originator included in a directory of the computing device. The method may also include applying a second set of rules to the identity of the originator. The second set of rules includes rules generated based at least on previous interactions between the computing device and the originator.

Abstract: A computing system is described that determines a location of a first computing device at a particular time. Responsive to determining that a second computing device is located within a threshold distance of the location of the first computing device at the particular time, the computing system identifies, based on contextual information associated with a user of the first computing device and contextual information associated with a user of the second computing device, at least one data file that the user of the first computing device is likely to access at the particular time. The computing system then outputs, for transmission to the first computing device, an indication of the at least one data file.

Abstract: A computing device is described that, while presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a first application, transitions from a first operational state to a second operational state. While in the second operational state, the computing device stops presenting the GUI associated with the first application, determines a context of the computing device, and receives a notification associated with a second application. The computing device determines, based on the context and the notification, a degree of likelihood that a user associated would access the second application, prior to the first application, after the computing device has transitioned from operating in the second operational state to operating in the first operational state. After transitioning from the second operational state to the first operational state, and responsive to determining that the degree of likelihood satisfies a likelihood threshold, the computing device presents a GUI associated with the second application.

Abstract: A decorative illuminated trim system having at least one mountable base track. The base tracks include a recessed LED seat and two parallel attachment grooves. The trim system includes a cover with two rails. The cover is partially translucent and adjacent the base track such that the rails engage with the attachment grooves. The trim system has at least one LED string between the cover and the LED seat. The LED string includes LED bulbs that receive electric current from an electricity source and emit light. Some of the light emitted by the LED string passes through the cover.
